YC Onion CB7 Cedar Fluid Head (Quick Release Version)

The YC Onion CB7 Cedar Fluid Head is a durable, lightweight solution for filmmakers and content creators who need reliable, fluid camera movement. Built from aluminium and designed around a 75mm flat base, it integrates easily with a wide range of tripods while delivering precise control over pan and tilt.

With adjustable drag and counterbalance, the CB7 allows you to fine-tune movement for different camera setups, helping you achieve smooth pans, controlled tilts, and consistent framing in both studio and location work.

How it works

Fluid head system
The internal fluid mechanism ensures smooth resistance during movement, helping eliminate jerky starts and stops when panning or tilting.

Drag and counterbalance control

• 4-step drag lets you control how much resistance you feel during movement
• 10-step counterbalance helps offset the weight of your camera, making tilts smoother and easier to control

Quick-release ecosystem
The head includes both Manfrotto-type and Arca-type compatibility, allowing fast camera mounting and easy switching between rigs without re-configuring your setup.

Pan bar and rosettes
A removable pan bar can be mounted on either side using rosettes, making it suitable for both left- and right-handed operation.

Base and levelling
The 75mm flat base with a bubble level ensures quick setup and accurate levelling on compatible tripods.
